American Sniper Sets Box Office Opening Night Record for January | Eastern North Carolina Now

    Acclaimed octogenarian film director /actor Clint Eastwood, and rising film star Bradley Cooper, who produced "American Sniper", may just have a monetary, and critically acclaimed hit on their hands with the Chris Kyle biopic that each are so powerfully responsible for. Early indications predict that the film will do extremely well at the box office overall, as it scored a record for a January opening night, making 30.5 million dollars in United States revenues alone.

    This Friday night was also a rare Boy's night out for myself, my son, and BCN's film reviewer Wyatt Sanderman Day, so what do you reckon we did? If you answered that we "boys" had a bite to eat out, and then attended the opening night, outside of limited release, of the Iraq War film, "American Sniper", you would be right. A film review from Wyatt is forthcoming.

    The true account of Chris Kyle's military existence as a Navy SEAL, and America's most lethal sniper, played out before our collective eyes, provoking a visceral response from us, and the rather large audience at the 7:05 pm show here in Washington, North Carolina. As we all filed out of the Washington theater in hushed silence, I well understood why the film has drawn the ire of pacifist Liberals, who have roundly denounced American hero, Chris Kyle, even in death, as a 'sociopathic murderer of women and children'.

    I mean, the man was good at what he did, protecting United States Marines; however, what sets Chris Kyle apart from other 'sociopathic murderers', and, as a mere mortal, why devout Liberals, understandably, may have a great difficulty grasping this brand of nanhood: Chris Kyle was a patriot, as imperfect and as grand as any American who has ever lived. Pacifist Liberals just are not equipped with the intellectual tools to understand the pathos of patriots the stature of Chief Petty Officer Kyle, so they offer their scripted indignation as a critique of the man's life, and I get that. I actually know most Liberals better than they know themselves, and I well know that.

    I also get that heroes, like Chris Kyle, have long suffered the ultimate sacrifice to afford unappreciative pacifist Liberals their 1st Amendment freedom to express themselves, no matter how they may publicly ingratiate themselves as those who can never fathom the depth of the essential commitment of a real American Hero. Their heroic commitment is our most powerful tool of freedom, the essential element that has kept this nation stretched and strung together since the French and Indian War, and will bind us still as long as the Chris Kyles of America continue to exist among us. As far as patriotism goes, American pacifist Liberals may be the most fortunate nonparticipants in the history of the world.

    I'm looking forward to Wyatt's estimable review of this fine film.
